Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the Isle of Wight College Main Works, classified under construction work, was managed by the Department for Education. This selective tender was a call-off from a framework agreement, which has now progressed to the award stage as of 26th September 2025. The contract, valued at £32,809,607.41, started on 28th August 2025 and will run until 26th June 2028. It covers several locations across the United Kingdom, including the North East, North West, and London, amongst others.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the construction industry, particularly those with experience in large-scale educational infrastructure projects. Although the tender is concluded, similar opportunities might exist under the Department for Education’s procurement activities. As the contract was awarded through a framework agreement, companies previously not part of such frameworks might consider pursuing inclusion in future frameworks to qualify for selective tenders. Large-scale enterprises, akin to Wates Construction, who was awarded this contract, are likely best positioned due to their resources and capability to manage substantial projects.
